Note:
WK: The Washington Accord defines “Knowledge Profiles” (WKs) as a set of nine specific knowledge and attitude components that should be incorporated into engineering programs. These profiles, developed by the International Engineering Alliance, are used to assess the substantial equivalency of accredited engineering programs across signatory countries. The knowledge profiles are categorized into knowledge-based, application-based, and knowledge-searching, with each profile addressing different aspects of engineering education.
